Flycemair.ca new 705 operator

I noticed two job ads for a start up in YQM called Flycemair.ca

Their website so the same logo as the South African Cemair.

Does anyone know anything about this company?

I have seen the Max's parked on West Jets ramp in YYC. They have removed the Max name from the side of the fuselage. It now shows Boeing 737-8. They have always said 737-8.
